Comments for "Chemo cancelled again due to Platlets"en-csnHappened to me toohttp://csn.cancer.org/node/246797#comment-1304852
<p>That happened to me four times during my chemo so it added another month to my chemo time. The second time it happened, I broke down in tears. I was so disappointed and upset. Then, I heard it wasn't terribly rare to have treatments cancelled because of that. I felt better that it happened to a lot of people and they coped. Hope it doesn't happen again to you! Good luck.</p>

<p>My platelets always stay around 65/70, but went in the tank down to 39. A naturopath recommended a product called Real Build. It's like $80 a bottle, but it did help me. Pushed me up from 36 to 55 in 6 days.</p>

<p>I am in... will have them tonight. What ever it takes so that I can chemo I will do. Its frustrating that there isn't anything they can give you to spike them up like when white blood cell count is low.</p>
<p>I start taking Chlorella and 4Life Transfer Factor along with multi vitamins, Vitamind C and D. All are suppose to help.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your feedback. I appreciate it!</p>
<p>Mashed Potatos for dinner it is then!</p>
<p>Big hug!</p>

One of my doctorhttp://csn.cancer.org/node/246797#comment-1282056
<p>Hey Vicki, </p>
<p>One of my doctor friends who is also a survivor told me to eat mashed potato if platelets go down as thats what saved his life during bone marrow transplant for leukemia. I did. And altho my platelets were borderline and my onc feared stopping of treatment, I didnt have to as the potatos spiked it up - why dont u try eating mashed or baked potato and see if it helps your counts.</p>
<p>hugs </p>

<p>last year i did folfox6 &amp; when i went for chemo #11 out of 12, my platelets were 53,000 &amp; i could not get chemo. talk about being mad! the next week they were up to 60,000 so i got my last tx. this year i am on folfiri plus avastin &amp; right now i am doing #5 out of 12 &amp; my platelets have been perfect. it is amazing how each of us responds to the tx. hang in there &amp; i will pray hard for those platelets to start producing!<br />
hugs<br />

<p>I was giving NuelastaI for 3 consecutive days when white cells count went down. After that I was going the day after the 5FU was disconnected for just 1 shot. Make sure you take Aleve and Claritin 1each, that morning before NuelastaI. This will help you not to have any bone pain.</p>

<p>seems a lot of us are having platelet problems.i have been off chemo for 2 months .went to onc yesterday and after all i have been thru lately my platelets are finally 67,000 after being 32,000 a week ago.it has just taken time and some trial and error medicines to finally get the go ahead to be back on xeloda again.try not to worry sometimes it just takes time for the body to recoup.just keep your mind in fight mode and you will be fine....Godbless...johnnybegood</p>
